Activision, som allerede har lanceret Guitar Hero III i USA og er lige på trapperne med Call of Duty 4, har offentliggjort deres resultat for andet kvartal af 2007. Firmaet kan præstere en fremgang i indtjeningen på ikke mindre end 69 % i forhold til året før. Det kan synes imponerende, men det forventes at næste kvartal bliver endnu bedre. Guitar Hero-franchise’en forventes at bringe omkring $ 1 mia. ind. Guitar Hero III har på de første dage i USA, allerede generet et salg på over $100 mio. Activision chef Mike Griffith tilføjer, at firmaet højest sandsynligt ikke vil være i stand til at kunne levere spil nok til at alle som vil have fingrene i det. Du kan læse mere hos bl.a. Gamasutra.
